4 Patmore Fields is a detached house in Bishop's Stortford (CM22 6JW). It has a recorded floor area of 228 m² (around 2454 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F.

Held since February 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 228 m² the property is well over the postcode median (173 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £691,000 sits 493.1% above the 1995 sale of £116,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£47/sq ft) was about 58% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2013. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
